This two-story Victorian-era structure takes the shape of a truncated triangle. Built of brick, the building has large multi-paned windows accented with granite sills and arches of radiating voussoirs. An iron balcony and cut brickwork add decorative qualities to the building. A limestone flame ornaments the facade, and a broad flat arch with keystone tops the original vehicle entrance. The original brass fire pole and bell are extant interior features.

Constructed in 1901, Fire Hall No. 2 provided service until 1979, when it was leased and restored by the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation. The preservation organization converted the station into its new headquarters, with the street level devoted to an art gallery and meeting space.

Fire Hall No. 2 has been locally designated as a Historic Landmark (March 6, 1990).
